Heg. 699 (1299).--Rookn Khan, Alla-ood-Deen’s nephew and brother-in-law, having aspired to the throne, attempted to assassinate the king while he was enjoying the pleasures of the chase. Alla-ood-Deen was pierced by two arrows, and he lay on the ground insensible. The Prince Rookn Chan drew his sword, and ran to cut off the king’s head; but being told that he was quite dead, he deemed it unnecessary to sever the head from the body. Proceeding immediately to the camp, he was proclaimed king; but Alla-ood-Deen, recovering his senses, appeared in his capital, was welcomed by the citizens, and the usurper immediately deposed and executed. Heg. 703 (1303).--After a siege of six months, Chittore was reduced, and the rajah made prisoner. The government was conferred upon the king’s eldest son, the Prince Khizr Chan, after whom it was called Khizrabad. At the same time Alla-ood-Deen bestowed regal dignities upon the prince, who was publicly proclaimed successor to the throne. Heg. 704 (1304).--Ray Ruttun Sein, Rajah of Chittore, escaped from Delhi. Alla-ood-Deen, having received an extravagant account of one of the rajah’s daughters, agreed to grant the father his release, upon condition of his giving up this daughter for the king’s harem. The rajah, tired of a very rigorous captivity, reluctantly consented to this odious proposal; but when his family heard of it they concerted measures for poisoning the princess, in order to save the reputation of their house. But the rajah’s daughter adopted a stratagen, by which she obtained her father’s release, and preserved her own honour. Having selected a number of faithful adherents, she concealed them in litters, used by women only when they travel in the East, and proceeded to Delhi with her ordinary retinue. Arriving at night, by the king’s especial permission the litters were allowed to be carried into the prison, supposing they contained the female attendants of the princess. No sooner, however, were they within the walls, than the armed men, leaping from the litters, put the king’s guard to the sword, and carried off the rajah. Heg. 706 (1306).--Dewul Devy, daughter of the beautiful Kowla Devy, fell into the hands of one of the king’s generals, and was brought to Delhi. In a few days after her arrival, the beauty of Dewul Devy inflamed the heart of the Prince Khizr Chan, to whom she was eventually given in marriage. Heg. 709 (1309).--Mullik Kafoor defeated the allied rajahs, who had combined to make him raise the siege of Wurungole, which he carried by assault after a vigorous siege of several months, and returned with his army and immense treasure to Delhi. On his approach to the city, the king himself came out to receive him near the Budaoon gate, where the conqueror laid all the spoils at his royal master’s feet. Heg. 710 (1310).--Mullik Kafoor defeated and took prisoner Bilal Dew, Rajah of the Carnatic.
